The most popular hairstyle of the 60’s is “retouched” into this punk edition and it looks so stunning on Kim. If your hair is naturally straight, it doesn’t take more than five minutes to achieve this look. Separate few hair sectons above your forehead and backcomb each section towards the roots of your hair. Secure side sections of your hair to the back of your head with pins. Pull the backcombed sections back and smooth the section carefully by stroking the surface of your hair only with the top of the comb teeth. Finish with hairspray.
